Looking good so far :)

Yeah I`m looking forward to this. Had it on pre-order for an absolute age. Hopefully between this and Zelda: Twilight Princess (the missus is getting me that for Christmas) my love affair with gaming may be rekindled.

is that why you`ve been playing Mario on your PC :)

Zelda rules, I`m about 10-15hrs into it (on GC), I`m only a year or so behind with my games!

SMG looks like it may well add another plus in the reason to buy a Wii column

Certainly is! I love the old titles, but find it hard to get excited about the direction gaming has taken now. Online shooters (and online gaming in general) fills me with apathy I`m afraid. I`m really looking forward to Zelda TP on Wii, and of course the Mario game. But beyond those titles I don`t think there`s much to care about anymore. I`m enjoying replaying old faves via MAME and whatnot and I think that`s where I`ll park meself for some time.

I have to be honest, I think this generation of gaming is utter sh**e for the most part. Then I am a bit of a misery guts when it comes to the games industry nowadays.

It`s getting ten out of tens all over the place. Gamecentral have just reviewed it this morning and given it the top score, and apparently and Italian gaming mag has recently given it 11 out of ten! Silly chuffs.

"Yeah, but these go up to 11"

Mario beats Halo, Bioshock

gamerankings 97.4%

Metacritic 97%

Hehe! Amazing scores.I reckon it will most certainly topple Mario64 as king of platformers.

I`ve got it on pre-order from DVD.co.uk, but I`m a bit worried I`m not going to get it for the big day. Surely in order for it to turn up on Friday, it ought to have been sent out by now? My order`s not even being processed dammit!

Should`ve gone to SpecSav...err... ShopTo. Or at a push, Gameplay or GAME. The Xmas mail madness seems to have started already, though, so even a Wednesday dispatch isn`t much of a guarantee now.

Very appealing game; a few more of those and I`ll be tempted to buy a Wii.

What`s more disappointing is that I`ve had it on pre-order for months. Since August I think. I`ve had very good experiences with DVD.co.uk in the past, and I though they`d be OK. I still hope they`ll come through with this.

That said, it`s still not even processing on their site. I`m not going to get this am I?

reminds me of when I ordered Zelda. I preordered it from play months in advance, the week before it was due out, it just said stock on order. So I ordered it from game, and it turned up on day of release, the following week, my play.com one still said stock on order, so I cancelled it.

maybe the big boys like game just buy so many the smaller shops are lucky to get any with a big release like this?
